3. The SRTM 3, version 2 Europe package by the same two guys, unsure of the resolution on this one. The link says 38M but the description says 75M.

Looking at the coverage maps of the three packs No. 3 covers all of mainland Europe, The UK, Irland, North Africa and the southern parts of scandinavia, so No.1 overlaps No.3 completely. No. 2 & No.3 overlaps in the southern parts of scandinavia.

I'm also considering a 38M of france since I do most of my airhauler flights there.

My question is, if I dump all of these in the Add-on Sceneryscenery folder, what will FSX make of it? Will it become a blur, or will the Mesh with best resolution default to the top?

Any hints are most welcome.

Cheers

Problem is that if I just dump them all in the default Add-on scenery I can't disable just one of them.

I just tried a flight out of Interlaken with only the 38M of the Alps in the scenery, and then tried it with the Europe package installed too, and it looks like the lower resolution Mesh is what i'm seeing. Even if the differences are small I didn't get the same "wow"-factor after I installed the Europe pack.

Thinking this through one more time it's logical really. Since they are in the same folder both should most likely be showing, and in hilly terrain the lower resolution mesh will bulge out from the steeper slopes of the high resolution mesh..

I guess I'll just have to do two Terrain Mesh folders, and dump the 38M ones in the folder with the highest prioity in the scenery library...

I guess these are .bgl files? In which case create a new folder and a sub-folder called scenery and place the .bgl folder in there then activate them separately. But then i guess you have already figured that out!
